Hi All
In the midst of a rust/dent repair and complete re-paint. My bronco is a family bronco (i.e. wife approves of colors) and therefore we have a decidedly less aggressive color scheme. My stats:
1) I'm going to keep the base light grabber blue
2) The rocker panel over-wrap of linex will be lost and I'll be putting in a fresh (painted) ranger stripe
3) My bumpers and roll bar will remain "white"
4) Interior flooring is color-matched linex light grabber blue
5) I'm installing new TBP high-backed front and tumble back seats
My issue:
1) I plan on matching the whites of the roll bar/bumpers/ranger stripe
2) What do I do on the upholstery though?
a - keep it black (not sure how that will look) and then put in black door/quarter panel kits
b - custom upholster in parchment (may be really tough to find a match); if it is parchment, do I then paint the roll bar/bumper/ranger stripe in a wimbleton white?
c - custom upholster in a brighter white and paint match the roll bar/bumper/ranger stripe (and thus also the doors and quarter panels)?
d - other ideas??
I'm not a color dude. It's hard for me to picture something other than what I have now...but it all will change. Would love your thoughts!! Trying to post the pics below (hopefully it works)
